comment
Genre Savvy: Played with. Audrey is a fan of murder mystery novels and tries using this knowledge to help solve the murder. Nick, who is an NYPD officer, keeps having to explain to her how actual police procedure differs from books and that everything she does only causes the inspector to consider them suspects. On the other hand, her assumptions keep pulling them to the next clue...

comment
Chekhov's Gun: If an ancestral dagger is being introduced, of course it's going to be used as the murder weapon... French inheritance law comes in handy as Nick and Audrey realize who's the killer or one of them, at least. The bus that Nick and Audrey decide not to take early in the movie. It ends up hitting and killing the last murderer while he's standing in the street.

Two Dun It: Nick's original theory has Charles and Suzi conspiring (which they are, but unsuccessfully). Then he theorizes it's Grace and Tobias, which is half right. The actual killers are Grace and Juan.

Who Murdered the Asshole
 Murder Mystery / int_8cb66c2f
comment
Who Murdered the Asshole: Before the events of the film, Malcolm stole the fiancées of two of the suspects, and treated his son poorly for being gay. Shortly before dying, he tells everyone they're leeches and that he plans to cut them out of the will to spite them (though to be totally fair, the guy kind of has a point on that one).

Chekhov's Hobby: It's established in one scene that Nick studied Latin in high school instead of a more useful language. Of course, it comes in handy two scenes later to communicate with someone who doesn't speak English.
